Do you want to see some Spaghetti packed 1955?
Hi guys,
today I opened a can of "GROUND MEAT & SPAGHETTI WITH TOMATO SAUCE" packed September 12 1955 by OTOE FOOD PRODUCTS CO. out of an "FOOD PACKET, IN-FLIGHT INDIVIDUAL IF-7", with the "abrasive paper method" (the smell after opening the can was terrible, also the spaghetti were not really visible . 55 years after preparing they find their end in the "john", but before eating ). The can was in really good condition, no rust or any bulging, but there was a little swelling, so I "saved" it before exploding .
Here are some pics (be glad, that photos do not smell ):
So long mreheater72

Do I want to see some Spaghetti packed in 1955?? Oh heck yes, I do!!
Thanks for not making us wait to see those pictures. Those are some great pics and it's really cool to see how this stuff looks after 55 years. Holy moly...that's a long time.

look close at the edge of the can,rust have penetrated the lid and wall of the can.
thats a weak spot on a can,other times the acid level from the food itself
can break the can to. specialy tomato,lemon,vinegard and so on.
but now to the pictures!!! cool but im glad im not smelling that
at least my wife she said:you (me) and your german friends must be
made of the same stuff since we like old rations and army stuff
nice pictures as usual
cheers ken

Ötzi is in better condition but anyway I'm sure my dog would have gladly eaten the pasta

I think I would have waited till summer to see if it attracted bugs.. or repelled them. Who knows, one spoonful of this and you could become immune to - well - everything!
